Sand Shinobi In My Village

One week passed since the snakey mission and Sasuke found himself standing at the bridge all alone. This was a bit weird, for the last Uchiha since usually, Sakura would be there first, either reading a new medical scroll or chatting with him. Well, she would talk while Sasuke would give approving or disapproving grunts once in a while. But she always seemed to understand what he meant, so it worked out. Then Naruto would show up and talk with Sakura before annoying him for a bit. It was their weird routine of sorts...Speaking of Naruto, just then the loud blonde reached the bridge.

"Oi! Sasuke! Where's Sakura-chan?" asked Naruto. Sasuke shrugged in response. "What if something happened to her?!" exclaimed the blonde.

"Calm down, dobe, she's probably just late..." said Sasuke.

"What did you call me, teme?!"

"Dobe."

"Teme!"

"Dead-last."

"Duck butt!"

"Yo!" said a new voice. Naruto and Sasuke spun around to greet their sensei.

"YOU'RE LATE!" Nice greeting there Naruto...

"Ah, well you see there was this old lady that-"

"LIAR!"

"Maa, Naruto don't be mean to me, Sakura isn't here yet, either..." said Kakashi.

Naruto was about to retort when he got interrupted by their last teammate."SORRY I'M LATE!" three heads turned around to see their female teammate run towards them. "I had the morning shift today at the hospital and it took longer than expected. I hope I didn't miss anything..." Sasuke realised that she was still in her hospital atire. Sakura somehow managed to tie her short hair in a really messy ponytail. She wore a red and white dress with the Haruno crest in the front, a lab coat, black heeled boots and...were those fishnet stockings? If she didn't have her hitai-ate, you could have easily mistook her for a civilian medic.

"No, no you didn't miss anything, I was just telling the boys about the Chūnin Exams." said Kakashi. Sakura widened her eyes. The Chūnin Exams brought 2 big enemies, Orochimaru and Gaara. Since the moment she came to the past she could only think about the snake sannin. She had gone over every strategy that was possible, from poisoning him, summoning Lady Katsuyu, to telling the Hokage...Gaara, while dangerous, wasn't as much of a threat, since Naruto was going to deal with him.

"EXAAAAMS? NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I DON'T WANT ANY MORE EXAMS!" yelled Naruto.

"Dobe. It's not a written test, it's a promotion." said Sasuke.

"Alright! I'm definitely getting promoted, dattebayo!" exclaimed Naruto.

"Well, then here are the forms for the exam, just go tomorrow at the academy and register yourselves." said Kakashi before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

"Well, let's go eat! This may be our last meal as genin!" said Sakura. She saw the determination build in Naruto and Sasuke's eyes. They both agreed and made their way towards Ichiraku. On the way, Sakura realised that a square rock with eyes was following them, or more like following Naruto.

"Pssh, Naruto...there's a square rock following you..." said Sakura in a mock whisper. The blonde groaned.

"Square rocks don't exist Konohamaru..." said Naruto. There was a huge puff of smoke and Konohamaru appeared, striking a cool pose.

"As expected from my boss!" said the boy."Whatcha doin, boss? Is this your girlfriend?"

"Why of course, Sakura-ch-" Naruto was interrupted as Sakura's fist met his face. "Don't lie you idiot!" yelled the pinkette.
